Iodine (including kelp) lowers my body temperature. Its something to think about. You do need iodine most likely but sometimes you still have to take a break because it does displace toxic stuff like mercury, fluoride, etc...

If I take a good amount of iodine I'll wake up in the middle of the night like I normally do but just have such a hard time getting back to sleep cause my body won't be able to warm up.

I probably get around 100-200% daily value without ill effects, but more will most certainly make me fell wierd.

The adrenals may be connected to the megadoses of vit C you were taking. Those levels are unheard of in nature, and vitamin C is always coupled with some level of bioflavanoids naturally. I think your adrenals are just shocked from the big changed and I wouldn't start megadosing again.

I knew a person who had a very good chinese doctor, and she didn't normally take megadoses of vitC but she felt a cold coming on and megadosed like 4g a day before her appointment. When she got to the chinese doctor he asked her quickly if she took any vitamin C because he noticed a strong kidney imbalance and lectured her very long about why she shouldn't do that.

I like Now Foods Tru-C biocomplex. It has amla extract which was shown to be absorbed 16x better than ascorbic acid and it also has extra bioflavinoids extracted from food sources.

Its a rough ride but hang in there sunshine!
